If you are considering purchasing a NetSpot license, we suggest you first take a look at the following post, which explains the differences in NetSpot editions: https:\/\/www.netspotapp.com\/help\/what-is-the-difference-between-netspot-free-scanner-reporter-and-pro\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Please note that on our website you can only purchase NetSpot for macOS & Windows: https:\/\/www.netspotapp.com\/netspotpro.html<\/a> and as stated on the purchase page, the Activation Code can be used for any desktop edition of NetSpot, either macOS or Windows. You won’t be able to activate NetSpot for Android or for iOS with the Activation Code meant for the desktop edition.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in NetSpot for Android, you can download it from Google’s Play Store<\/a>. While NetSpot for Android is a free app, some extended functionality is only available through the in-app purchase, called NetSpot Plus. Note that this purchase is for NetSpot for Android only and cannot be applied or transferred to NetSpot for desktop. Please make yourself well-aware about purchasing anything on Google’s Play Store, as we don’t have much control over its rules including, but not limited to, returns.\n<\/p>\n

\r\n \"iOS\"\r\n <\/div>\r\n
NetSpot for iOS<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

If you are interested in NetSpot for iOS or iPadOS, you would be buying NetSpot on the Apple’s App Store<\/a>, using your Apple account, and accepting Apple’s Terms and Conditions. NetSpot purchased from the App Store is also separate from desktop editions.\n<\/p>\n
